SACRED HEARTISTRY
Herb & Tree Spirit Medicine Circles
March 2025 - February 2026
How do we support ourselves in symbiotic relationship to deepen our unique Sacred Heartistry?
Join me as we deepen our relationship with the native herbs and tree spirit healers in a very special opportunity to connect with them on a multitude of levels ~
We will journey, paint and receive a wealth of whole plant healing from these precious teachers
Learn about native herbs and trees and work with them in the holistic realms of whole plant healing. Meeting the plants as whole beings in the relational field. These wise healers and master teachers create healing of our inner ecology so that it may ripple out into the outer landscape. They are calling to support us and enhance our wild medicine cabinets as we work to reweave the threads of our human ecosystems.

What is your unique Sacred Heartistry?
How can we focus & fuel that which wishes to ignite as a powerful source of heart work in the world?
In our convenings we will sit with this enquiry and support ourselves to establish how best we can serve our communities with this work that comes from our souls longing

Meeting within the seasonal cross quarters provides a compass for self process. The seasonal gateways supporting our creative processes with their sacred offerings
We are Soul Gardeners. As soul gardeners we tread a path of honouring each season. We honour the spark of life, the root; the bud; the blossom; the bloom; the fruit; its ripening; the spark in the seed of life force; the release, the rot; the gestation and the rebirth
For the in person circles we will be gathering in a medicine garden which is gardened by the moon on sacred earth lines surrounded by deer kin and springs. I feel that it is really important that we convene in a space where we can sit and relate to the growing plants that we work with
